[Solved] Need to show appropriate message if no matching filterable records found

[Prabhat]

I have the following 2 simple requirements while dealing with Kendo Grid.

• If there is no records present for the underlying datasource then display in the UI: No records found. Please add New record using Add New button.
• If records present but on user click on any column Filter, and No matching records found then display in the UI: No matching records found for the given search criteria.
  
  I have accomplished the 1st task using Grid's OnDataBound() method.
  I am just verifying the datasource length and displaying appropriate message in UI.
  
  Please help me achieving the 2nd option. Because both of the case Grid's datasource length is 0 (zero).

Hi Prabhat,

You can just check for if there are any filters applied to the dataSource, and if there are not records in the grid, then this filter have returned 0 matches. Here is an example that I created for you:
